Infrastructure designed for padding code with nop instructions in key places such that preformance improvement will be achieved.
The infrastructure is implemented such that the padding is done in the Assembler after the layout is done and all IPs and alignments are known.
This patch by itself in a NFC. Future patches will make use of this infrastructure to implement required policies for code padding.

This makes the ownership of the resulting MCObjectWriter clear, and allows us
to remove one instance of MCObjectStreamer's bizarre "holding ownership via
someone else's reference" trick.

Summary:
This suppresses the generation of .Lcfi labels in our textual assembler.
It was annoying that this generated cascading .Lcfi labels:
llc foo.ll -o - | llvm-mc | llvm-mc
After three trips through MCAsmStreamer, we'd have three labels in the
output when none are necessary. We should only bother creating the
labels and frame data when making a real object file.
This supercedes D38605, which moved the entire .seh_ implementation into
MCObjectStreamer.
This has the advantage that we do more checking when emitting textual
assembly, as a minor efficiency cost. Outputting textual assembly is not
performance critical, so this shouldn't matter.

This reverts commit 6389e7aa724ea7671d096f4770f016c3d86b0d54.
There is a bug in this implementation where the string value of the
checksum is outputted, instead of the actual hex bytes. Therefore the
checksum is incorrect, and this prevent pdbs from being loaded by visual
studio. Revert this until the checksum is emitted correctly.
llvm-svn: 313431
Summary:
The checksums had already been placed in the IR, this patch allows
MCCodeView to actually write it out to an MCStreamer.

We were previously silently emitting bogus data in release mode,
making it very hard to diagnose the error, or crashing with an
assert in debug mode. A proper diagnostic is now always emitted
when the value to be emitted is out of range.

This makes sure we get the same redefinition rules regardless of who
is printing (asm parser, codegen) and to what (asm, obj).
This fixes an unintentional regression in r293936.

Currently, the error messages we emit for the .org directive when the
expression is not absolute or is out of range do not include the line
number of the directive, so it can be hard to track down the problem if
a file contains many .org directives.
This patch stores the source location in the MCOrgFragment, so that it
can be used for diagnostics emitted during layout.
Since layout is an iterative process, and the errors are detected during
each iteration, it would have been possible for errors to be reported
multiple times. To prevent this, I've made the assembler bail out after
each iteration if any errors have been reported. This will still allow
multiple unrelated errors to be reported in the common case where they
are all detected in the first round of layout.

Summary:
Previously we were trying to represent this with the "contains" list of
the .cv_inline_linetable directive, which was not enough information.
Now we directly represent the chain of inlined call sites, so we know
what location to emit when we encounter a .cv_loc directive of an inner
inlined call site while emitting the line table of an outer function or
inlined call site. Fixes PR29146.
Also fixes PR29147, where we would crash when .cv_loc directives crossed
sections. Now we write down the section of the first .cv_loc directive,
and emit an error if any other .cv_loc directive for that function is in
a different section.
Also fixes issues with discontiguous inlined source locations, like in
this example:
volatile int unlikely_cond = 0;
extern void __declspec(noreturn) abort();
__forceinline void f() {
if (!unlikely_cond) abort();
}
int main() {
unlikely_cond = 0;
f();
unlikely_cond = 0;
}
Previously our tables gave bad location information for the 'abort'
call, and the debugger wouldn't snow the inlined stack frame for 'f'.
It is important to emit good line tables for this code pattern, because
it comes up whenever an asan bug occurs in an inlined function. The
__asan_report* stubs are generally placed after the normal function
epilogue, leading to discontiguous regions of inlined code.

MCContext already has many tasks, and separating CodeView out from it is
probably a good idea. The .cv_loc tracking was modelled on the DWARF
tracking which lived directly in MCContext.
Removes the inclusion of MCCodeView.h from MCContext.h, so now there are
only 10 build actions while I hack on CodeView support instead of 265.

Assembler directives .dtprelword, .dtpreldword, .tprelword, and
.tpreldword generates relocations R_MIPS_TLS_DTPREL32, R_MIPS_TLS_DTPREL64,
R_MIPS_TLS_TPREL32, and R_MIPS_TLS_TPREL64 respectively.
The main motivation for this patch is to be able to write test cases
for checking correctness of the LLD linker's behaviour.

CodeView, like most other debug formats, represents the live range of a
variable so that debuggers might print them out.
They use a variety of records to represent how a particular variable
might be available (in a register, in a frame pointer, etc.) along with
a set of ranges where this debug information is relevant.
However, the format only allows us to use ranges which are limited to a
maximum of 0xF000 in size. This means that we need to split our debug
information into chunks of 0xF000.
Because the layout of code is not known until *very* late, we must use a
new fragment to record the information we need until we can know
*exactly* what the range is.
llvm-svn: 259868
CodeView requires us to accurately describe the extent of the inlined
code. We did this by grabbing the next debug location in source order
and using *that* to denote where we stopped inlining. However, this is
not sufficient or correct in instances where there is no next debug
location or the next debug location belongs to the start of another
function.
To get this correct, use the end symbol of the function to denote the
last possible place the inlining could have stopped at.

This directive emits the binary annotations that describe line and code
deltas in inlined call sites. Single-stepping through inlined frames in
windbg now works.

This support is _very_ rudimentary, just enough to get some basic data
into the CodeView debug section.
Left to do is:
- Use the combined opcodes to save space.
- Do something about code offsets.

This reverts commit r259117.
The LineInfo constructor is defined in the codeview library and we have
to link against it now. Doing that isn't trivial, so reverting for now.
llvm-svn: 259126
Adds a new family of .cv_* directives to LLVM's variant of GAS syntax:
- .cv_file: Similar to DWARF .file directives
- .cv_loc: Similar to the DWARF .loc directive, but starts with a
function id. CodeView line tables are emitted by function instead of
by compilation unit, so we needed an extra field to communicate this.
Rather than overloading the .loc direction further, we decided it was
better to have our own directive.
- .cv_stringtable: Emits the codeview string table at the current
position. Currently this just contains the filenames as
null-terminated strings.
- .cv_filechecksums: Emits the file checksum table for all files used
with .cv_file so far. There is currently no support for emitting
actual checksums, just filenames.
This moves the line table emission code down into the assembler. This
is in preparation for implementing the inlined call site line table
format. The inline line table format encoding algorithm requires knowing
the absolute code offsets, so it must run after the assembler has laid
out the code.

The value size was always 1 or 0, so we don't need to store it.

Summary:
Support for R_MIPS_NONE allows us to parse MIPS16's usage of .reloc.
R_MIPS_32 was included to be able to better test the directive.
Targets can add their relocations by overriding MCAsmBackend::getFixupKind().

This extends the work done in r233995 so that now getFragment (in addition to
getSection) also works for variable symbols.
With that the existing logic to decide if a-b can be computed works even if
a or b are variables. Given that, the expression evaluation can avoid expanding
variables as aggressively and that in turn lets the relocation code see the
original variable.
In order for this to work with the asm streamer, there is now a dummy fragment
per section. It is used to assign a section to a symbol when no other fragment
exists.
This patch is a joint work by Maxim Ostapenko andy myself.
